Tommaso -

.... I do not belong to the NRA, do not carry a concealed weapon, and favor the registering of weapons--though if it seemed to me that registration was preliminary to taking away my guns, I would probably disobey the law....

In spite of everything you may read by either gun supporters or opponents, the purpose of the second amendment is to try to hamper the expansion of power that any government will always seek. It does this not by enabling an armed firefight with the government, but rather by helping to create a sense of uncertainty in the government as to exactly how much their cost will be in attempting to confiscate weapons from the citizenry. This is why registration would be a mistake, as it may well allow the agents of government to make a mistaken calculation that they can afford to pay the price.

Regards, Don
